Tell me that your mind's been changin'
I tell you that I'm no good at goodbyes
I could cut a thousand roses
Show you that I'm all torn up inside
[Chorus]
You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yourself or whatever
I wake up hollow
You made me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you
[Verse 2]
Tell me that we'll meet up someday
I tell you that I'm no good tellin' lies
Maybe when my heart's done breakin'
Then I could forgive what you tried
[Chorus]
You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yoursеlf or whatever
I wake up hollow
You madе me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you
[Verse 3]
You could spend your whole life searchin'
And I could spend the whole day just gettin' by
But every time the red moon rises
I'll stay up and I'll keep some hope inside
[Chorus]
You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yourself or whatever
I wake up hollow
You made me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you

Song’s producer and co-writer Rostam said in an interview with Vogue that the two have written a song in less than 20 minutes during one of their late-night sessions.
I started playing a riff on guitar as we were winding down, and all of a sudden Carly started singing. Neither of us expected to write a song, but we couldn’t help ourselves. I think songwriting is very instinct based. [Carly] doesn’t second guess herself in the writing process, and that brings out a lot of honesty.
I love to explore those middle spaces between a feeling. It’s a pretty angry song, and writing it felt almost diaristic. I was coming from this mindset of, ‘Well, fuck you if you don’t know what you want from life, because I’m right here!’
